Line Waiting app....funny thought

[wolfie1]

y the VersaEdge app was consistently more accurate.

Good to know. This is the app I recently bought for my iphone. We're first timers but I plan to use this app in the parks next week. Thanks.

Hello neighbor, fellow Tennessean here! I'm not as familiar with the iTouch but my daughters doesn't have 3g only wireless which means she can't use the app in the parks which of course is one of her arguments for "needing" an iPhone! Do the new ones have 3g? Maybe this would be cheaper than getting her an iPhone which isn't going to happen for awhile!

Hey! Nope, the new one doesn't have 3g so I just HAD to go UPGRADE my phone so we could have the app in the park. I do love my new phone and it is WONDERFUL to check the wait times sitting at my desk in Tennessee.

I just noticed there are several Tennessee people in this thread lol. I'm in Nashville. Pirategirl & tndisneyfan (of course!!) are here too!

Hey Everyone!! I'm in Memphis so not too far from Nashville!!!

 

[scrdofbugs]

How can the itouch work with no wireless in the parks? Am I behind again?

It can't. It requires WiFi.

 

[scrdofbugs]

james65 - what app is it? do you like it so far?

I have the UnderCover Tourist and i really like it. I haven't been to the park with it yet but it easy to use and has everything I need EXCEPT the itouch version has Crowd Forecast but my android version does not.

Hey Everyone!! I'm in Memphis so not too far from Nashville!!!

Hello! I used to travel to Memphis a lot as part of my job. Love what they did to the downtown area over the past 8-10 years and the baseball park there. And of course Beale is always fun!

Yes, they have been working on improving downtown. The crime is down too so that helps. I just went to Nashville a couple weeks ago for a business meeting.

Hey Pirategirl,

We live in Bristol, VA...

Hey! I am in Jackson, TN, and travel to Memphis often, and Nashville even more so! As a matter of fact I will be in Nashville next week and possible Memphis next weekend! lol
As far as apps, Brian has Lines, the free WDW wait times, and Undercover Tourist. And I love them all.....and I am just bidding time until my phone comes eligible for an upgrade (IPhone 4 here I come!)

I would probably only trust the WDW app. When I was there in early/mid December a woman on the bus was talking to another woman about her phone app for wait times and was telling her and others the estimated crowd level for the day was a 1 out of 10 at Epcot and things like Soarin and Test Track had 25 minute waits. We got there...and Soarin was at a 100 wait...I felt kind of bad for the woman because she was SOOO wrong.

DH found Undercover Tourist last trip & we loved it. I just got an iphone for Christmas and I think my favorite part is checking out the day's happenings at Disney - even though we are still 9 months away from our next trip. For example, right now it reports Toy Mania has a 45 minute wait !

Now that I've read this thread I think we'll have to get at least one of the other apps & be having competitive comparisons while we are there next time. It will be like playing a game for us.

I just did a search in the Market for undercover tourist, and got a message "there are no matches in Android Market for the search: undercover tourist." Any suggestions on how I can get this app would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Undercover!
After reading a lot of great things about the UT app I bought it and we are really looking forward to using next month on the trip. We have been using the VersaEdge apps which seemed more accurate than Lines but we still use Lines for the FP return feature. It looks like the UT app shows which rides have FPs but does not show FP return times. Any chance UT will add that feature? That would be great and we could just use it!!

 

[Slickd23]

When will the Android Apps get similar functionality to the Iphone apps?
Thanks

I hope this means you're finally developing an app for Blackberry phones.

 

[whacked]

I have yet to see any reports from people who say these apps made any real difference in their trips. Maybe for first timers?

Made a sandwich and finished my post. Guess I won't be the first.
When we were there last Christmas, the Lines app made a big difference.

There were multiple occasions that I checked the reports from people in the park, and noted that a ride was out of service, so we did NOT have to track across the park to find the ride down. I specifically remember TT at EPCOT, and SM in MK, though I think there were others.

Each one saved at least 30 minutes of tracking across the parks to use a fastpass.

There are also live reports on return times of fastpasses currently being given out, and fastpases running out for the day. This saves trekking across the park for a fastpass with a return time later than you want, or for a fastpass that has run out.

In some respects, the live reports from people in the parks can make a bigger difference than the wait times.
